The Black Ice Couloir

The Black Ice Couloir

If our typical routes on the Grand Teton aren’t quite enough of a challenge for you, the Black Ice Couloir might be a great choice this season. Exum Senior Guide Brendan O’Neill and long-time client Steve Trafton never choose easy routes and with the Black Ice Couloir in really good shape right now, it was an easy choice for this year. The route should be in shape for a few more weeks so if you are an experienced climber and want to try a Teton classic, give us a call soon. Steve certainly looks like he is having a great time!
